Drones

The FAA's decision to approve a number of new drone testing sites should not be a cause for shock or concern. As technology evolves so do social expectations - years from now, we'll accept drones as an every day part of life. The simple fact is that drones will become an increasingly important part of the US economy. To be sure, drones will continue to play a critical security role. Nevertheless, we should welcome research that offers the potential for thousands of jobs in a way that benefits broader society.
